This is the website and interview I believe that this interview, along with this picture accurately display how bad life or good was for African Americans in the 1930's-1940's for a few reasons. One, is that they show how poor people were at that time period. During the interview, you can also see that in some places, blacks made out fine, displaying the range of lifestyles that they can represent. In the first picture, there is a large family of at least 8 on a plantation, the only work they can get, and how shabby they look. This first picture shows how even when they had jobs, they barely scraped by.

What were these people like and how do they represent the time period and area of the country being studied in this project?
Chris Thorsten, Mr. Garavelli, Mrs. Elizabeth E. Miller, Alie Caudle and Anna Novak all are prime examples of what people had to do to make a living back in the day in New York and other big cities around the country in the early 1900's. Chris Thorsten had to do a very harrowing job as an iron worker to get by. He was laid up for two years and broke 3 vertebrae as well as all of his ribs, just attempting to make a living. Mr. Garavelli, a stonecutter, had to work with terrible stone dust all around him, he explained it as a knife of silica through your chest. And this man did it to make a living as well. Mrs. Elizabeth E. Miller had to haul pork up to her house while her husband worked late nights. Alie Caudle was a mill worker since she was 10 to make a living.Lastly, Anna Novak worked at a packing plant and in th stockyard for eight years. She absolutely despised that job, as she was also a conveyor of liquor to the men during holidays. This shows that during this time period (early 1900's), many people did anything for a job to get money even if they hated it. Many people were only barely able to scrape by.
